- I am in the market for a medium sized hard drive.
- After looking in the lastest MacWeek, I have come up with the following table:
-
- Brand Model Size Access Cost price/MB Height
- ----- ----- ---- ------ ---- -------- ------
- Quantum LPS240 240 10 ms $515 4 2.15 1/3
- Quantum ELS170 170 17 $345 1 2.03 1/3
- Conner CP30200 212 12 $438 3 2.07 1/3
- Conner CP30170E 170 17 $318 3 1.87 1/3
- HP C2233 234 12.6 $799 1 3.41 1/2
- Maxtor 7213S 207 15 $399 2 1.93 1/3
- Seagate ST3283N 248 12 $519 5 2.09 1/2

- (2) APS
- (3) MacDirect
- (4) Mac & PC
- (5) Relax Tech.

-
- If anyone has any info about these drives (or others that I missed) or knows
- of a cheaper price, please let me know. I am interested in SCSI vs SCSI 2,
- max transfer rates, cache sizes, r/w caching, etc. as well as real
- world performance.
-
- I have a IIsi which doesn't have a great SCSI transfer rate but someday I
- will upgrade and if the drive can go with me I'd be happier.
